Connecting homeless families to a better future

Congratulations, Joyce!

Joyce Hothan, our Executive Director of Program, has managed our growth over 15 years now. Thanks to her, Bridge Communities has grown from a small grass-roots group of volunteers into a professional staff with 100 client families. Joyce recruited all of our case managers, set up our mentor training, helped to recruit churches to be Program Partners and sponsor apartments. Bridge has grown from 9 families to 100 under her leadership, and developed new ideas along the way such as aptitude testing, employment counseling, and the condominium which involves equity sharing to make ownership more affordable.
